The Warren Commission Conclusions:CONCLUSIONS

“The Commission was created to ascertain the facts relating to the preceding summary of events and to consider the important questions which they raised. The Commission has addressed itself to this task and has reached certain conclusions based on all the available evidence…These conclusions represent the reasoned judgment of all members of the Commission and are presented after an investigation which has satisfied the Commission that it has ascertained the truth concerning the assassination of President Kennedy to the extent that a prolonged and thorough search makes possible…”

“…1 (f)…There is no credible evidence that the shots were fired from the Triple Underpass, ahead of the motorcade, or from any other location…”

“…9. The Commission has found no evidence that either Lee Harvey Oswald or Jack Ruby was part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate President Kennedy….”

“….(a) The Commission has found no evidence that anyone assisted Oswald in planning or carrying out the assassination…”

“….(b) The Commission has found no evidence that Oswald was involved with any person or group in a conspiracy to assassinate the President,….”

“…(d) The Commission …was unable to find any evidence that the contacts which he initiated were related to Oswald’s subsequent assassination of the President…”

“…(e) All of the evidence before the Commission established that there was nothing to support the speculation that Oswald was an agent, employee, or informant of the FBI, the CIA, or any other government agency…”

“…(f) No direct or indirect relationship between Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby has been discovered by the Commission…”

“….(g) The Commission has found no evidence that Jack Ruby acted with any other person in the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald.”

“….(h) After careful investigation the Commission has found no credible evidence either that Ruby and Officer Tippit, who was killed by Oswald, knew each other or that Oswald and Tippit knew each other.”

“Because of the difficulty of proving negatives to a certainty, the possibility of others being involved with either Oswald or Ruby cannot be established categorically, but if there is any such evidence it has been beyond the reach of all the investigative agencies and resources of the United States and has not come to the attention of this Commission.”

“ 10. In its entire investigation the Commission has found no evidence of conspiracy, subversion, or disloyalty to the U.S. Government by any Federal, State, or local official…”
